B) That's our man! Too bad the jackfruit didn't have one of those "Naturally Glute-free" stickers on it and pointed at the camera! :lol:

Not a fruit that I'm familiar with but a beautful looking one there!

Thanks all

Jackfruit is an amazing versatile fruit that can feed a family of 22 easily! Guess it does in some parts of the world. Was at the jackfruit festival in INdia last June and saw many things made from it including --

the seeds dried and ground into a great tasting gluten free flour used in breads, cookies and other Indian confections.

Its also where juicy fruit gum got its flavor. Dried like a jerky is good too although half dried in Chocolate is even better!

take care

Don't know where around here is but sometimes you can find them at oriental markets, especially catering to the Philippine community where its called Lanka or Nanka. Can also find it canned form Thailand which is ok if cooked. SOMETIMES THEY CAN BE ORDERED FREsh from Miami fruit and Spice park or fairchild garden near there.

or just visit hawaii!

Yeah, but you'd have to cook it there. Try bringing one of those puppies back stateside they'd throw you in the can (if you were lucky). We got in a heap of trouble bringing in avocados from Maui :rolleyes:

Coffee, I'll be in touch. ;)

Good to see you, the star that we always knew you were. An advocate on our side is a wonderful thing Ken! Thank you.

Your lucky you weren't thrown in the can -- or fined $10K.

This is one of the battles I always have to fight. why they let avocados from Mexico, Chile, New Zealand and now Peru into the US but not from Hawaii is crazy. They,the feds, have a million excuses none of which can hold up to science. Its all Calif. politics.

Once people try real avocados from Hawaii they will not want the junk being forced on the rest of the world.

Calif. Avo industry owns 68% of Mexican and 40something % of chilean orchards.

I better stop while there is still room on the computer-- (^_^)

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong. yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      One doctor suggested it, but then seemed irritated when I asked follow-up questions. Oh well—

      @GlorietaKaro, your respiratory reactions to gluten make me wonder if there might also be an allergic (anaphylaxis) component at work here.

      Thanks to both of you for your responses! Sadly, even after several years of very strict gluten avoidance, I remember the symptoms well enough that I am too frightened to risk a gluten challenge— heartbeat and breathing problems are scary— Scott, thank you for the specific information— I will call around in the new year to see if I can find anyone.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @GlorietaKaro! As Scott indicated, without formal testing for celiac disease, which would require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten daily for weeks, it would be not be possible to distinguish whether you have celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). Their symptoms overlap. The difference...

In the meantime, I will carry on has I have been— it’s working! Thanks also for the validation— sometimes I just feel crushed by disbelief. Not enough to make me eat gluten though—

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @GlorietaKaro! As Scott indicated, without formal testing for celiac disease, which would require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten daily for weeks, it would be not be possible to distinguish whether you have celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). Their symptoms overlap. The difference being that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the lining of the small bowel. We actually no more about celiac disease than we do about NCGS, the mechanism of the latter being more difficult to classify. There are specific antibody tests for celiac disease diagnosis and there is also the endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining. Currently, there are no tests to diagnose NCGS. Celiac disease must first ruled out. Researchers are working on developing testing methods to diagnose celiac disease that do not require a "gluten challenge" which is just out of the question for so many because it poses serious, even life-threatening, health risks. But we aren't there yet.
